Neuroticism is associated with challenging experiences with psilocybin mushrooms.
Personality and Individual Differences October 15, 2017 Frederick S. Barrett, Matthew W Johnson, Roland R. Griffiths 98 citations
People who score higher on neuroticism (or lower on emotional stability) tend to report more intense challenging experiences, such as fear, grief, and paranoia, during psilocybin sessions. Data from two online surveys with 1,993 and 981 participants showed that scores on the Challenging Experience Questionnaire were negatively associated with emotional stability in the first study and positively associated with neuroticism in the second. The findings suggest that personality traits, particularly neuroticism, may help explain why some individuals have more difficult “bad trips” with classic hallucinogens like psilocybin.

A latent profile analysis of the Big Five personality and mindfulness traits in the general population
Personality and Individual Differences May 26, 2025 Sarah Strohmaier, Oleg N. Medvedev 3 citations
Personality and mindfulness traits predict how people respond to brief mindfulness interventions. A multinational sample of 636 adults completed personality and mindfulness measures, then were randomly assigned to a 5-minute, 20-minute, or active control mindfulness practice. Latent profile analysis identified three personality-mindfulness profiles: 'Mindful-adaptive,' 'Reserved-disengaged,' and 'Ruminative-preoccupied.' For the Ruminative-preoccupied profile, all practice lengths produced significant medium-to-large improvements in affect. For the Reserved-disengaged profile, only the shorter 5-minute practice yielded a significant medium-to-large effect. The Mindful-adaptive profile showed no significant benefit from any practice. The authors argue that tailoring intervention dose to personality profiles could improve effectiveness.
Why does one want to feel socially engaging emotions? The role of self-transcendence values on desired emotions among adolescents
Personality and Individual Differences February 1, 2022 Ping Liu, Shujin Zhou, Liyin Cui et al.
Adolescents who value self-transcendence (e.g., caring for others) tend to want more socially engaging emotions like empathy and love, while those who value self-enhancement (e.g., personal success) do not show a clear preference for socially disengaging emotions like anger. In one study, teens rated their values and desired emotions; in another, they chose images to view. Teens with stronger self-transcendence values chose more social and neutral images than those with stronger self-enhancement values. The findings support a value-based account of desired emotions in adolescents.
From a state to a trait: Trajectories of state mindfulness in meditation during intervention predict changes in trait mindfulness
Personality and Individual Differences July 1, 2015 Laura G. Kiken, E. Garland, K. Bluth et al.
Individual trajectories of state mindfulness during an eight-week mindfulness-based intervention varied significantly and predicted changes in trait mindfulness and psychological distress. Those whose state mindfulness increased more over repeated meditation sessions also showed greater gains in trait mindfulness and greater reductions in distress. The findings suggest that cultivating state mindfulness through meditation practice may contribute to a more mindful and less distressed disposition, though individual patterns of change differ and require further study.
